Hi, I just tried with 3.12.0-031200-generic and although I don't get the dmesg errors, it doesn't detect the Ethernet cable or does DHCP client work. So, the evidence suggests this isn't entirely fixed upstream yet.
uname -a: Linux flibble 3.12.0-031200-generic #201311071835 SMP Thu Nov 7 23:36:07 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Here are the relevant bits of dmesg from the 3.12 kernel: [ 0.760049] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded [ 0.760074] pci 0000:00:06.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 0.760321] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [APC3] enabled at IRQ 18 [ 0.760357] r8169 0000:01:0a.0 (unregistered net_device): not PCI Express [ 0.760645] r8169 0000:01:0a.0 eth0: RTL8169sb/8110sb at 0xffffc90000c72000, 00:21:27:c9:5f:cf, XID 10000000 IRQ 18 [ 0.760648] r8169 0000:01:0a.0 eth0: jumbo features [frames: 7152 bytes, tx checksumming: ok] [ 11.032543] r8169 0000:01:0a.0 eth0: link down [ 11.032586] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready The link doesn't go up with the cable plugged in and I can confirm the connection is just fine because it works on the motherboard slot (eth1) still. There are no 'rtl_phyar_cond == 0' warnings any more though. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249979 Title: r8169 Ethernet driver doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1249979/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
